DCC support services group reports strong growth and plans for further acquisitions

Support services group DCC has said that it would like to spend around £150m (€211m) per year on acquisitions.

Management made the statement on an analyst call yesterday while presenting a strong set of interim results that comfortably beat market expectations.

The Dublin-based group, which is now listed in London and reports in sterling, generated operating profits of £88.4m (in the six months to the end of September, up by just over 26% on the same period last year).
